Watch: Embarrassment for Congress as PC Chacko joins ally NCP

Embarrassment for Congress as ex-leader joins ally Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

PC Chacko was inducted into NCP by party chief Sharad Pawar.

Congress is part of ruling alliance with NCP and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.

On March 10, Chacko had quit Congress, calling it rudderless ship.

Chacko claimed there was no place for merit in the Congress.

"I am happy to be part of a party which is functioning, active and a party moving with a direction," he said.

“This is like homecoming.

I had the opportunity and privilege to work with Pawar Sahab in Cong's most difficult days.

United opposition must emerge as alternative to BJP.

I didn't see that initiative in my last party (congress),” he added.

Sharad Pawar defended fielding Yugendra against Ajit Pawar in Baramati despite the latter's dominant win. Acknowledging his faction's poor performance with just 10 seats, Pawar credited the Mahayuti's women-centric Ladki Bahin scheme for its electoral success. He emphasized reconnecting with voters and learning from the results while refraining from commenting on allies' EVM allegations. Despite setbacks, Pawar expressed determination to rebuild his party and highlighted the contrasting outcomes between the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections as a key lesson. #MaharashtraElections2025 #SharadPawarSpeaks #BaramatiBattle #AjitPawarVictory #LadkiBahinSchemeImpact ~PR.282~ED.194~GR.124~HT.336~

Maharashtra Exit Poll 2024: BJP-led Mahayuti Likely To Retain Maha, Setback For MVA [Video]

Maharashtra Exit Poll 2024: BJP-led Mahayuti Likely To Retain Maha, Setback For MVA

The exit polls for Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 predict a comfortable majority for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, signaling another term in power. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, comprising the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), faces a significant setback as poll numbers suggest a loss of key constituencies. Mahayuti's stronghold across rural and urban Maharashtra appears to have been bolstered by grassroots campaigns and alliance strategies. Meanwhile, the MVA is grappling with questions about its approach and leadership challenges.
